Explanation

(a) Three achievements of ECOWAS since its formation

(i) There is now free movement of people between the countries as travel visas for visits not lasting more than three months were abolished in 1979

(ii) Border dispute between Benin and Togo was resolved in the spirit of ECOWAS in 1975

(iii) The ECOWAS games held in Lagos in 1977 aided understanding and solidarity among the states

(b) Five problems facing ECOWAS in the achievement of its objectives

(i) The division of West African states along linguistic lines (English and French) discourages the coming together of the two groups.

(ii) Many of the states are unable to pay their annual dues. This makes the running of the secretariat difficult.

(iii) The smaller and poor countries fear that the bigger and richer ones will dominate them economically and politically

(iv) Some of the richer countries are also suspicious that their resources might be tapped to enrich poorer countries

(v) The countries as they become independent adopted their own different currencies. This has complicated trade
